Sun Zongyuan picked up the phone and made a long-distance call to Hong Kong.
Li Jiawei was sitting in the company bored and reading the newspaper in his hand. Several female employees had gone home early. There was no business and there was no point in staying here.
Li Jiawei quickly picked up the phone:
"Hello, I'm from Yuanda Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. How can I help you?"
"Jiawei, is that you? I'm Sun Zongyuan."
"Yes, yes, boss, I'm Li Jiawei. This is your first call."
"Yes, I'm busy every day after returning to the mainland. What's the recent economic situation in Hong Kong and Japan?" Sun Zongyuan asked.
"Boss, I just happened to know something. Ever since the mainland and the United Kingdom signed the Hong Kong Handover Agreement, the property prices in Hong Kong have been rising," Li Jiawei replied.
"As for Japan, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and Japan signed the New York Plaza Accord in September of this year. The yen is now appreciating. The yen-dollar exchange rate has risen from 240 to 220 per dollar in just one month, and it looks like it's still rising."
"Oh, that's thoughtful. Keep an eye on the sales of those European and American customers around Christmas. If they continue to place orders, the price can be reduced by 10%, but they must pay a 10% down payment. The goods can be re-exported through Yuanda Company, and 40% of the price will remain in Yuanda's account."
"Okay boss, Christmas isn't far away. I'll communicate with them every day, listen to their opinions, and give you feedback!"
"Okay, remember my phone number. By the way, how many times of leverage can Hong Kong banks use to enter the foreign exchange market?" Sun Zongyuan asked.
"Boss, the maximum leverage is 50x, and the normal leverage is 20x. Do you want to enter the foreign exchange market?"
"Yes, first invest $2 million with 50x leverage to buy Japanese yen. If orders come in from Europe and the United States, use 80% of the company's funds to buy all the Japanese yen. Report to me once a week!"
"Okay, boss. I will hire a professional trader recently to buy in time according to the trend of the Japanese yen!" Li Jiawei said, standing up straight.
"Okay, I believe you!"
Sun Zongyuan put down the phone, rubbed his temples, and thought about next year's development plans.
Various inspections came one after another before the New Year, and Sun Zongyuan from the unit accompanied them carefully. At lunch, he tried not to eat in the office cafeteria but went to a small restaurant on the resident premises, eating some wild game and drinking some good wine. He marked down the inspection forms. The leaders who came to inspect said that Honghua Township did the right thing and the quality was good. The key was that it also produced typical experiences, which guided the county's ranking in the region to improve significantly. The performance of the construction line ranked first among all townships. Sun Zongyuan was praised by the leaders a lot!
Visitors from enterprises were treated like gods. When small problems were found, they were corrected overnight. When big problems were found, suggestions were immediately put forward to make changes. When malicious suggestions were made in a roundabout way, the leaders were asked to come forward to coordinate and rectify the problems. No matter what the situation was, the superiors who came to inspect were all given a box of canned food. The visitors were well fed and drank and went back happily with good things.
Ma Bin, the head of a powerful department in Honghua Township, invited Sun Zongyuan to have dinner together in the evening. As a classmate, he was generous with his money and the food and wine were plentiful. It was a great pleasure for everyone!
With the arrival of New Year's Day, the financial and taxation business was also closed. The fiscal revenue of Honghua Township in 1985 was 2.38 million yuan, 8 times that of the previous year, and the output value exceeded 60 million yuan, 7.8 times that of the previous year.
Both fiscal revenue and output value ranked second in the county, second only to Anyang Town. Anyang Town achieved fiscal revenue of 5.1 million yuan, an increase of 17.8%.
After New Year's Day, it is late November. The coldest days of the year are freezing cold, and it snows from time to time. The mountains are high and the roads are slippery, so vehicles generally do not transport goods. It is okay to go to work in the cold weather, and most people stay at home and make snowmen and have snowball fights with their children.
As we entered the twelfth lunar month, there were several consecutive sunny days and the snow on the road gradually disappeared. This morning, a notice was issued requiring all cadres to attend a meeting at the Party Committee. What big news was there that required such a urgent meeting?
The secretaries of each village branch were also required to attend the meeting. At 10:30 a.m., more than 70 middle-level and above cadres, heads of township stations and branch secretaries attended the meeting. The meeting was chaired by Li Jianguo, and a county leader also sat on the rostrum.
"Today's meeting is attended by... Comrade Du Mingliang, Deputy Director of the County Party Committee Organization Department, is also present at the venue with a cadre inspection team. Please welcome them!" said Secretary Li Jianguo.
"Today's meeting has two items on the agenda. First, Minister Du will speak. Welcome everyone!"
"Today, on behalf of the Organization Department of the County Party Committee, I came to Honghua Township to inspect cadres. According to the arrangement of the County Party Committee, our township plans to nominate four cadres as inspection targets. There are four inspection conditions: first, they must be formal cadres under the age of 35... second, they must be Party members, be politically conscious, and have good conduct... third, they must be capable and have outstanding work performance... fourth, they must be united with comrades, have a good reputation among the masses, and be honest and upright..."
"The last item of the meeting is the distribution of recommendation votes by the staff!" Secretary Li Jianguo said, "Everyone must be fair and impartial. You must not fill in the votes arbitrarily. You must cast your sacred vote."
Since there was no prior information and no leaders had arranged to focus on any particular person, those who participated in the vote were initially confused and didn't know who to vote for. The staff distributed the list of eligible people in the township again, looked at them one by one, and then secretly filled in their names on the recommendation ballot with their hands covering their faces.
After casting their votes, the voters left more than 20 respected comrades behind for the next round of talks, while the other comrades adjourned the meeting.
More than half an hour later, the summary results came out. Sun Zongyuan was the first of the four recommended candidates selected from the auditions, with the most votes!
Sun Zongyuan felt a little dizzy. No one had hinted at this, yet he was being promoted just like that? Didn't someone say that if you don't run or give gifts, you'll stay where you are, but if you run and give gifts, you'll be promoted and reused? It seemed like all that was nonsense. It wasn't the case at all.
When the person who was talking to Sun Zongyuan saw him, he said congratulations and said he had to treat him, otherwise he would be finished! After that, he walked away laughing.
After the conversation, Minister Du spoke with each of the four recommended candidates one by one, asking about their personal situations, whether they had anything to report to the organization, and what they thought.
Sun Zongyu expressed his opinion, saying that he wanted to stay in Honghua Township and transfer his wife to Honghua Township Hospital. He said that he had not violated any matters related to integrity and honesty. He was still young and had little work experience, and needed the organization to continue to cultivate, care and show him love!
Finally, Minister Du and Secretary Li Jianguo communicated privately for an hour, and after a simple meal in the evening, the working group went back, saying that they would work overtime overnight to summarize the day's work, write an inspection report, and prepare for the ministerial office meeting tomorrow morning.
The next afternoon, Organization Department Director Du led another directional inspection. The cadres who had voted the previous day gathered again and ticked off four names. The same group participated in the conversation, still clamoring for the four to host a banquet, but after the conversation, they all left, seemingly having forgotten about it.
